The die hit the table with a soft clack. It rolled and rolled and rolled on the table, making a soft whirring noise.

The light hit a corner of the casino red die and made it look transparent for a moment. The soft colors of the die hit the table and made the smooth, wooden table also look red.

And the tiny, white, fletched dots rolled up and down, up and down. The die rolled and rolled and rolled...

And the die stopped. But it didn't stop in the typical sense, one side flat on the table.

No, it hung delicately balancing on one edge, walking a fine line between tipping over and equilibrium.
